Mini-ITX

[Skittleslovers02]

Hello There,

I am just starting to really play pc gaming from a ps4 and have a $1400 CAD but can move up to (if I have to) $1600 CAD.

Need a Mini-ITX system to fit in the shelf which my ps4 is in. Also it needs to fit is a 14" by 9" by 21" (WxHxD) box. No monitor, keyboard, mouse. Monitor/TV is 1080p. Want to play current generation games and future generation games.

The build isn't bad, however I don't like that case for it.

You should check out the case Linus reviewed a while back, the Silverstone Sugo SG13B http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/part/silverstone-case-sstsg13b

The case is much smaller, and a bit cheaper too. You should get that, pick a better and shorter PSU (something 550W+ 80+gold would be nice, and it's on a similar price as the one you picked). Then cool the CPU with a 120mm AIO, as this case thermal design suggests you do. Nothing too fancy, a simple one that is sturdy enough (the cheaper ones can be kinda flimsy) will do the trick.

This is a decent example system: http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/p/Mh2QjX

The one with the Core 500 is also good, it makes you able to use tall heatsinks. However if you are going to be moving the system around too much, I wouldn't go with a big heavy metal heatsink, the AiO is lightweight and secured to the case instead of the mobo.

May take the pc on a airplane for going to the east coast.  lol

Alternatively, you can get this ssd if you don't want to go the m.2 route. If you want to stretch your budget to $1600 then you can go for the 6700K from Mike's. Remember, you can try to price match to get it cheaper and avoid shipping.
